About Greenville

Tucked into the northwestern corner of Plumas County's scenic Indian Valley, Greenville is a small Sierra Nevada mountain town with deep roots. Long before Gold Rush prospectors set up shop in the 1850s, the Mountain Maidu called this lush valley home. Today, it remains a quiet, tight-knit community surrounded by pine forests and open meadows, with local kids attending Indian Valley Elementary and Greenville Junior/Senior High.

In 2021, the Dixie Fire swept through Greenville, destroying much of the historic downtown and many homes throughout the valley. Since then, the town has poured its energy into rebuilding from the ground up. Neighbors and local groups are steadily putting up new houses, reviving small businesses, and shaping a fresh chapter for the valley. Anyone moving here will find a peaceful mountain setting alongside a dedicated community actively bringing their town back to life.
